Abisko Travel Guide

 sim1 Says:  One thing that is hard to avoid when visiting Abisko is a view over Lake Torneträsk. In the picture you can see a view over the lake from Mount Njulla. The colour of the lake is so blue! It doesn't really matter if you see the lake from the top of the mountain, or stand at... 

 sim1 Says:  From Abisko it is only a short trip to the top of Mount Njulla.... if you take the chairlift that is! Hahaha, otherwise it is rather a steep climb! The chairlift brings you up to 900 metres high (200 metres from the top) and from here you have a wonderful view over the... 

 sim1 Says:  July 12th:Today's hike is from Alesjaure to Unna Allakas. On paper it all seems like a great trip... but..... things happen... weather happens.... The first part of the hike is going okay, 2 km's from Alesjaure back on yesterdays trail. Easy peasy! :-) But now? Okay, up the... 

 sim1 Says:  I've mentioned the Abisko Canyon a few times before, but I guess it deserves a tip of its own as well. The canyon is beautiful and easy to reach from the Abisko. Actually, the most spectacular part of the Canyon is right here at Abisko. There are several hiking trails around... 

 sim1 Says:  July 15thLazzzzy sleep in! No hurries today! It is just one more day of hiking and we are back to our home base in Abisko. Only a simple 15 kilometres over flat terrain, hahaha, feels so easy now to do a distance like that after the last couple of days. So we decide to take... 

 sim1 Says:  July 14thToday it is slightly raining, but I don't care that much really. My mind is elsewhere. It is about 500 metres from here..... there is a "vad" there, and everyone at the Mountain Hut was talking about it. You are going towards Abiskojaure? Oooh, you have to cross THE... 

 sim1 Says:  Hahaha, I've only managed to describe one third of yesterday's trip. There is so much more to tell!!! But I run out of room on that tip. I still have to tell you about the climb down, the difficult wade through the river, the herds of reindeer we passed on our way, and... 

 sim1 Says:  July 11th:Lazy, lazy.... hahaha, a long sleep in, a good breakfast, an ice-cold wash at the creek. So funny, hahaha, and so coooold! We only have about 7 kilometres in front of us before we arrive in Alesjaure. The main route will be along the lake Rádujávri and Alisjávri,... 

 sim1 Says:  As we had the afternoon off in Alesjaure, we decided to take some time to explore the surrounding area. Close to Alesjaure is a little Sami village called Alisjávri, beautifully located on the lake with the same name. "Alisjávri" means "Alesjaure", but spelled in Sami. And... 

 sim1 Says:  July 10th....9:30: The tent is packed, hiking shoes are on, had a good breakfast... yes, we are eager to go on our way again! Today we are hiking from Abiskojaure towards Alesjaure. The whole trip will be about 21 kilometres.... mmmm..... sounds long to us. So we decide to... 

 sim1 Says:  July 9th.... Our first real hiking day! Today we are hiking to Abiskojaure, a 15 km's trip through Abisko National Park. I am feeling a bit nervous as it is the first time I am going on a multiple-day hiking trip. The first time with a backpack on, hiking in nature....... 

 sim1 Says:  July 7th 2005: We are on our way. We have a long journey ahead of us. Over 20 hours in the train travelling up north. Sweden is a huge country. Long most of all, and that is the way we are going... up, up, up, until we can't go up much further. The Fjällen and Abisko is our...
